Change Name Of 'File In Use By' Message
My co-workers and I have excel files on a drive. When one of us is in the file, and it opens read only we just see the name of our company. How can we change it to be able to see each other's names? Its the "file in use" message that pops up. It states the name of the file and by: X when we open the file.

Using 'IF' With Conditional Format (change Cell Color Based On The 'P' Or 'F')
My cell has a 'P' or an 'F' plus some additional text. I'm trying to change cell color based on the 'P' or 'F' but I can't get it to recognize the letters. Samples of what I've tried: =IF(LEFT(L23,1)=P) =IF(MID(L23,1,1)=P) etc. I can 'FIND' the 'P' or 'F' but there may be a P or F else where in the cell so the color may come up incorrect. I'm trying to get it to just look at the first character in the cell. Can the 'IF' be used with CFs?

Run-Time Error '1004' Cannot Open PivotTable Source File 'Consolidated Report'
I have a macro that takes the date from different excel sheets, consolidates the data and renders the pivot table and chart accordingly. It was working fine when the date range defined for the pivot table was static. Now I have made it dynamic since the data range changes each month depending on the number of days it has got. When I run the macro, it runs succesfully, generates the report and save & close the report, but after that I am getting this error. Errorneous

Run-time Error '1004' :: Method 'Range' Of Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me Run-time error '1004' Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging. Here is the code that I am using. This is in the Personal Macro book on the "This Workbook" section....

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed. The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.

Run-time Error '1004': Methd 'Range' Of Object '_Global' Failed
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................

How To Restrict The Cell Data To Letters 'a' Through 'e' AND 'A' Through 'E'
I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E. What I am looking for 1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that. 2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column. 3) Nice-to-have. If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Add' Of Object ' Sheets' Failed Adding Multiple Sheets
I have been running a simulation for about 18 hours now and just received: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Add' of object ' Sheets' failed I have been creating new sheets, importing data, pulling some values from the data then deleting the respective sheet. I am using: ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) The sheet is actually being added to the workbook, seemingly before the error. I resume the code, and a new sheet is placed in the workbook and it errors again. The Debugger stops and highlights on the code above.The sheet count number was 10895 at the error, just as an indicator of how many times the simulation has performed successfully. I am hoping this is something I can fix without having to start over...

Run Time Error 1004 - Method 'Range' Of 'Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far... When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])" is highlighted in the debugger. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.

Avoid 'function Is Not Available On A Protected Worksheet' Message
I am using the before double click event on a protected sheet. When the event fires the first thing the procedure does is unprotect the sheet, does stuff and then it applies protection again at the very end. Regardless I still get the 'Function is not available on a protected worksheet' message. How can I stop the message? Any ideas? If no standard approach is available does anyone know how I can hook this using API?

When I Hit "/ " Key It's Highlighting The 'File' Menu
I've no idea what combination of keys I hit to do this, but when I hit the / key it's highlighting the 'File' menu - working as though I pressed Alt. Unlike Alt though, it doesn't un-highlight it if I press / again. It only does it in Excel - Word works fine, as does notepad and obviously I can enter it on here to. I've tried rebooting, but it's still there.

Error 1004 Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have a cet of CommandButtons on sheet 1. The code for these buttons is in the code section of the sheet. A named range is referenced in this code. This named range is on sheet 2. Every time I try to reference this or any named range (from any other sheet), I get this "Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" The last time I had this error I was able to fix it by moving the code to Module1. I tried that here, but it did not work (I can't figure out how to call it from the sheet). CommandButton. Here is the code from the sheet for one of the buttons: Private Sub TBEnterUp_Click() iLast = Range("WBDate_DayLast").Value '<<<<<<< iItem = TBEnter.Value If iItem = iLast Then TBEnterUp.Visible = False Exit Sub End If TBEnter.Value = iItem + 1 If iItem > 0 Then TBEnterDown.Visible = True End Sub It is a simple number advancer. It is working in the UserForm I took it from. I have included a sample file of the problem. Feel free to look at it and borrow anything in it that you might like.

Both 'Private Sub Workbook_Open' And 'Auto Open' Run Sequentially
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew. Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True. Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed Error
I start in my "Action Plan for For Single Market" worksheet and if I click on the Command Button I then want to read in a couple of variables, and jump to a second worksheet (called "Market Action Plans") where I then want to copy a range, and then paste it in another area in that same sheet. I thought I had worked out what to do, but when I execute I get a "run-time error 1004" when the macro gets to the "Range("Updated_Results").Copy" line. Excel describes the error as "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed'" - which might as well be a foreign language as far as I am concerned! Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Current_Market_Row = Range("Current_Market_Row") First_Col_Action_Desc = Range("First_Col_Action_Desc") Sheets("Market Action Plans").Select Range("Updated_Results").Copy Cells(Current_Market_Row, First_Col_Action_Desc).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Sheets("Action Plan for Single Market").Select End Sub I am an occasional macro-creator and every now and again, I come across this type of problem where I can't get variables to be reconized, etc. I think it's because I don't understand enough about Private versus Public, and how to declare variables.

Copy Entire Row By Range & Suppress 'Cannot Edit Links' Message
I have 10 workbooks which have various calculations and have several links to each other. We use Excel 2003. For each of these files, I have the following code in the Auto_Open module Range Range(“TodayComp”) is a date taken form a link in another spreadsheet. It is on Column 3, but the row changes every day as more rows are inserted before it This sub looks at Range(“TodayComp”) and checks the date on the cell directly above. If say Range(“TodayComp”) is 6/25/2008, and the cell above is 6/22/2008, it will insert three rows right above Range(“TodayComp”). These rows need to be copied with formulas from the current row above Range(“TodayComp”) Issue One: The following code works (it copies the rows), but it takes forever to run, as you can see in bold, I copy and paste each cell, instead of the entire row. Is there a way to copy and paste the entire row? Remember that I have only a named range to refer to, no cell address as it changes every time. Public Sub Auto_open() Update_Dates() End Sub Public Sub Update_Dates() Dim tdy, prev As Date Dim index, i, j, yr, no_inserts As Integer Sheets("Comparison Computation").Activate

Worksheet 'Change' Event: Show Which Rows Of Data Have Been Changed By Incrementing A Revision Attribute
I want to show which rows of data have been changed by incrementing a revision attribute. For example, if a user changes the contents of a cell anywhere between rows 2 and 13 and col 1 and 9 then the revision attribute in col 10 would increment from 1 to 2 (for the affected row). If another change affects the same row then the rev attribute would increment to 3, and so forth. I don't care which cell was changed only that something on that row was touched. I thought the CHANGE event was a dead ringer for triggering some VBA code to control this but, since part of the change event code writes the revision value, this triggers another CHANGE event causing an endless loop until something (??) kicks in and stops it after 220 iterations. Is there a way to inhibit the change event just prior to updating the cell containing the version attribute? Rather than post the code here I have submitted the workbook that includes the whole setup and code. I should also mention I looked at all the other worksheet events and I do not see any "triggers" that would fire each time a cell content is changed. As a side note, is there a way to step into the code of a change event? F8 does nothing.

Run-time Error '1004':File Not Found :: Folder On Network
The script below scans through a specified folder on a network and scans every xls file inside that folder for a value. When it finds the spreadsheet which contains that value (a policy number) it outputs some of the data from the matching file and also provides a link to the sheet in question. It worked perfectly until I saved, exited and re-opened the file and now I am getting a 1004 run-time error every time I try and execute the script. I cant for the life of me work out a cause. More baffling, the wording of the error says that the file 'R:DirCancellations.xls' could not be found. At no point is a file called 'Cancellations.xls' specified. Why has the script decided to search for a file called 'Cancellations'?
